Hydrofoil Generation offers a highly realistic sailing experience with great physics and controls, making it a must-have for sailing enthusiasts.
The game has a welcoming community and provides excellent tutorials that help players learn the complexities of sailing hydrofoils.
Despite being in early access, the game shows significant potential for growth and improvement, with engaging multiplayer sessions and a dedicated developer team.

The lack of AI boats and a small player base makes multiplayer sessions feel empty and can lead to a lonely gaming experience.
The user interface is cluttered and could use a rework, and the tutorial system can be frustrating, requiring players to restart if they make mistakes.
The game currently lacks single-player content and diverse environments, which limits replayability and overall enjoyment.
